What’s new at Vegan Rescue?Balsamic Vinaigrette and a Power Salad!

I love making my own salad dressing and vinaigrettes are the easiest. I’ll typically add Dijon mustard to my vinaigrettes but ran out this time. This recipe does not include it, but I do recommend it. Another plus to making homemade salad dressing is that you can swap and mix ingredients. This recipe uses agave, which can easily be swapped for honey.

This dressing is the perfect match for this chopped/shredded Power Salad that I made. But it also goes perfectly in wraps or even on top of some veggies. The salad was made with shredded Baby Spinach, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Kale, Parsley and topped with Chickpeas, Sundried Tomatoes, and Sunflower Seeds. I always like shredding baby spinach, similar to how you julienne basil leaves. The baby spinach blends nicely when it is shredded rather than leaving the leaves whole. Also, I massaged the kale in this recipe with salt and balsamic vinegar. This Balsamic Vinaigrette is so simple and easy, a definite “go to” where you can swap ingredients. Enjoy!
